A WIDOWED mum has pledged her support for a campaign to save a cash-strapped private school from closure.

Lisa Evans, 42, wants to help save Highlands School in Tilehurst because it offered her a lifeline when personal tragedy struck.

Mrs Evans' husband died from cancer at the age of 48 in August 2009

  If you look at the fees this school then you will see they are lower than majority of other private schools in the area still getting the excellent teaching and wrap around care. We are parents working 24-7 to give our children a good start in life through our own choice. We pay our taxes like everybody else and are actually freeing up places for children in state schools. If we didn't chose the private sector then state schools will be overly subscribed and even bigger class sizes than they are now!!!
